Address UN Sustainable Development Goals to build a regional collation of UN, NGO, Global Bottlers and Local Governments to invest in an rPET facility.
Africa Recycling Feasibility
The focus of this paper is on replicating a successful Bottle-to-Bottle recycling plant that currently exists in South Africa. We believe the best solution is to build the same plant in a central location in East Africa to serve as a regional solution to the processing of plastics collected across multiple East African countries including those collected in Uganda.
